technically i should be hard with a short shifter cuz u dont have the leverage on the pivot point like u do wit stock shifter.., but im wondering if its on some cars and not others..im thinkin its maybe sumtin to do with the rrm crank shaft pulley( = faster rotation) that me n infamous got, but u dont absolute....donno jus throwin it out there shoot me down if it doesnt make sense..

^ true im just going by what i have heard from others , i think its just harder to do on some then others tho i could do it no problem when i had my sentra then i got this and nope

^ i think he does have the pulley , it could make sense but when i test drove the car in all stock form i had a young guy with me and he let me do a burnout and it wouldnt do it then either , maybe the trans wont let you do it so you have to force it into second gear , its bothered me from day one cuz i cant keep my revs up from 1st to 2nd

lol, do u guys have differenct emission standards? i dont think theres nething else country-specific that would warrant a different ecu
if u get a weighted knob it should help..my knob that i got from TWM is 4 times the weight of the stock, it should help with the momentum when shifting so it engages easier

^ naw our emissions are the same as yours with the acception of cali , but our ecu's are different , mods dont show gains very quickly and i believe a guy up here in montreal bought the rrm turbo kit installed it , and the car kept going into limp mode , later to find our ecu's are different , mitsu has already admitted it , we had a dyno shoot out between aem injen and works and lets jus say the ecus messed things up for that one

hmm i dont seem to have that problem of the RPMs dropping too low when i redline 1st gear
however it does drop lower than the rest of the gears cuz of the gear ratios, but it's usually above 4000rpmor higher @ second gear when i redline first
i like rip it into gear though, dun take my foot entirely off the throttle just touching it just a tad when im switching and i just switch as fast as i can...havnt grinded but i've heard my tires chirp (stock tires...my falkens dont really chirp when i do that) when i go from 1st to second

I can't power shift either... I find if I don't use the clutch I have to let the rpm's drop about 1-1.5k and then I can just slide it right into the next gear...
Why would they change the ecu's between canada and the usa if cali's the only place with higher emission standards?

so i tested the shifting today to see the rpms drop and i was kinda in shock , i never took my eye off the guage from first to second i shifted as quick as i possibily could and at 6500 i shifted which is redline and the rpms dropped to 4 on the spot so thats a 2500 drop in rpms , but first to second is the only one that drops that much , every other gear is within 1k mark , but atleast is stays in the 4k range which is where the power is

What I meant was when I pull it out or gear without a clutch and to just slide it into gear without the clutch I've got to wait about 1-1.5k then it will slide in like butter...
